About This Quote

Ego is like an antivirus which eventually takes unwanted control of the computer itself. Ego is the voice in your head that tells you to be better than everyone else. It’s the voice that’s always telling you what to do, how to act, and how to think. And it's not something you can ignore; it's always there, reminding you how to act, what to say, and how to think.

But if you want to run your life like a computer program, you need a virus scanner. You need an antivirus that can remove ego from your system. And that's where meditating comes into play.

It's the only way to keep ego under control, because it acts as an antivirus for your mind. What helps is not meditating every day, but meditating every time. If you can manage 2 or 3 minutes of meditation each day, this will help you develop the habit of mentally removing ego from your system.

When you start taking control of your thoughts, thoughts don't have authority over you anymore.
